Lady Zhelana will teach this month’s class on celtic knotwork

Reminder: Sunneva has made a schedule for all of 2018 as a Google Docs spreadsheet so you (yes, you!) can sign up to teach a class at one of our monthly A&S nights. She is pleased to report we have classes scheduled through most of the rest of the year; there is also a list in development for alternate/back up classes, so even if there are no specific dates available, please sign up!

Their Excellencies

We have a barony! Yay!

We (and several other members of the Barony) are getting ready to head to Pennsic, so we have nothing much else to report

Andreva is taking checks for registration, and pointed out that attendees will need to pay the $5 site/park fee, and it will need to be paid at the door since PayPal is (not yet) set up to process the park fee

DragonCon (30 August – 3 September 2018)

People are needed to pull the chariot – Ximon’s offer/bribe still stands (a six-pack of frosted adult (or all-ages) beverage of one’s choice)

Duke John described the setup for pulling the chariot, will ideally need 4 people (is set up to do so)

Took count of who is planning to take part in the parade and doing what

Lady Stella is the point person to get parade passes (passes will be handed out on Friday of DragonCon)

Castle Wars (15-18 November 2018), Lady Juliane reporting

Mistress Sibella is creating the site tokens, will probably schedule a project night to sew them together

Paypal will be up once the event flyer is approved and paperwork is done – likely within a week or two

Site deposit is already in for Castle Wars 2019

Midwinter A+S (9 February 2019), Lady Alisandre reporting

Alisandre talked with Sibella about securing the University of West Georgia site – their class scheduling system has apparently gone south, but this shouldn’t interfere with finalizing the site reservation by 1 October

Other SCA Business

The Knowne Worlde Courtesans Guild podcast is live, baby! Justina is one of the podcast’s field reporters. She said they are looking for interviews, stories, poetry and other cultural aspects of SCA life. The podcast will be a digital salon hosted by the courtesans of the Knowne World Courtesans Guild and featuring artisans of historical arts from across the world. Tune in for intelligent discussion of history, re-enacting the pre-1600s world, and news of the Society. If you are interested in talking about your art, please contact Justina and she will be happy to chat with you!

Ideas for next year’s baronial bid for a kingdom-level event – perhaps RUM/Fighters’ Collegium at University of West Georgia? Coronation (although this would depend on who wins Crown)?

Mara expressed interest in autocratting RUM/Fighters’ Collegium

Sir Iazzie is planning to sponsor a Rose-themed armored tournament at Crossroads – perhaps a similar tournament could be done for the rapier lyst as well?

Non-SCA Business

None

Next South Downs business meeting will be held Wednesday, 6 September 2018, at Little Tree Art Studios.
